Write into the Heart of Your Story (Nov. 10-24)

an online course for writers at all stages

Writing the stories of your life is about more than recording a series of events. It's about creating meaning and connection.

Whether you're writing blog posts, essays, a memoir, or in your journal, how do you write beyond what happened and into the heart of a story?

In this 2-week online course, we'll explore ways to write into the heart of your story using prompts, exercises, and techniques that you can use again and again.

What the Course Includes:

• Daily posts sent to your email inbox with that day's content
• A lovely mix of instruction and inspiration
• Writing prompts to discover your stories
• Exercises to explore your personal creative process
• Techniques to dive deeper into your story's meaning
• Resources to keep the momentum going
• An optional, private community space to connect with other participants (housed on Facebook)

Registration: $27.00 (closed)

Two notes about email:
1) If you would like to receive the course emails at an address that is different than what you use for payment, please put your preferred email address in the "Notes" section when you check-out.

2) If you use Gmail, remember to check your "Promotions" tab for the daily course emails.

FAQ

What do I need to take the course?
You'll need an email address and an Internet connection. (You might like to have a journal or notebook that you use for the course, or you might prefer to write on your computer or typewriter.)

Do I have to have a Facebook account to participate?
Nope! The private community group on Facebook is totally optional. The group will be private, so only course participants will be able to see the contents and posts in the group.

I'm not a writer. Is this course for me?
Yes! If the idea of writing stories from your life appeals to you, this course is for you. We'll use a variety of prompts and exercises that are accessible and no-stress, whatever your writing experience.

I am a writer. Is this course for me?
Yes! Even if you've been writing for awhile, the practice of digging deeper into your stories will be useful. I'll be sharing techniques that significantly improved my own writing when I learned them after years of being a writer.
